Ryan,
Welcome to my world. It's the price to pay for having rubberbands for tires. I've had three blowouts; two with Toyo T1R 285/25/20 and one with Falken FK452 285/25/20. I'm on the cusp of two more. One on the front of my Falken FK452 245/30/20 and another on my Yokohama Advan Sport 285/25/20. Currently, I'm riding on my stock wheels & tires until I get both replaced. I would just suggest buying tire insurance and periodically checking for bubbles. Your bubble (and mine) problem can be avoided by using 245/35/20 and 275/30/20, but that wouldn't look as good.

Ill be running Nitto INVOs.... soon. I would go with 295s too but the tires will rub since I'm dumping the rear more
Rubberband tires FTW!

Nothing wrong with Nitto, I just don't like the tread pattern on the INVO's. Kinda funky lookin'.
Haha, wouldn't you look like that too if you had to run a donut to and from Vegas?
Yeah, like a 50mm spacer. Hah!
